NASCAR: Top-Five Hendrick Motorsports Drivers of All Time

5. Geoff Bodine

Geoff Bodine was one of the pillars of the foundation of Hendrick Motorsports and if it weren’t for him, who knows where the team would be today. Rick Hendrick is notorious for telling the story of how Geoff Bodine helped save his business by winning in the teams first ever race Martinsville in 1984. Hendrick had plans to shut the team down for a little while after the Martinsville race but with Geoff Bodine winnings, the team was able to get sponsorship and continue to pursue the success it has achieved today.

Bodine won seven races driving from 1984-1989 for Hendrick. Although he does not have the amount of wins to some other drivers not on this list, what he did for the organization in 1984 by winning at Martinsville and saving the team has to be applauded.
